Project Based Learning, known as PBL for short, allows students to research, work with, and gain knowledge about themselves,team_work.jpg their community, and their world. PBL Units are designed with a "driving question" as the main focus of each lesson and activity. Students are encouraged to take their learning into their own hands and collaborate with others, while teachers create innovative and exciting lessons based on state standards.
